Limassol → Troodos · Mountains

Taxi from Limassol to Troodos

About an hour into the mountains — wine villages, Byzantine churches, Kykkos Monastery, and snow on Mount Olympus in winter. A local driver who knows the roads.

The Troodos massif starts about 45 km north of Limassol and climbs to Mount Olympus at 1,952 m. The roads are narrow, winding and beautiful — which is exactly why most visitors would rather not drive them in a hire car, particularly in winter when there is snow on the peak.

NETA Taxi runs Troodos as a private transfer or a full-day tour with a local driver. Omodos and the wine villages, the UNESCO painted churches, Kykkos Monastery, Kaledonia waterfall, or simply a run up to the ski slopes. You set the pace; we handle the hairpins.
